First you think: "Okay, this movie is a comedy." Then you think: "Okay, it's a dramedy." Then you think: "It's actually a horror story."
Gotta be honest. I didn't understand half of the dialogue but I'm pretty sure they said something important.
It absolutely does hold its audience's hand throughout the entire thing, like an overprotective father, and spoon-feeds us information like mothers performing the old airplane trick with their newborn infants -- but that's just part of the social commentary.
I love the borderline-self-parody aspect, for lack of a better word (always undercutting the seriousness of the situation with surrealist comedy until the third act strikes like a gavel and leaves you breathless), and the sendup of contemporary media techniques, e.g. the "cameos" relative to the way the masses consume their information.
But if you consider yourself an intelligent person and someone who, regardless of intentions, doesn’t need to be treated like a child (even for the sake of satire), then…
